CONVERSION OF POWER FACTORS - ELECTRICITY
by MANIVANNAN_K on 12/03/04 at 00:58:19

HELLO!  

I HAVE SOME DOUBTS IN CALCULATING ELECTRICITY POWERS. IN INDIA, ELECTRICITY MAY BE CALCULATED IN UNITS. THAT UNITS MAY BE IN KWH,ETC.

  HOW TO CALCULATE/CONVERT THESE INTO VARIOUS UNITS. HOW MANY UNITS ARE THERE FOR ELECTRICITY MEASUREMENTS.

REGARDS,

K.MANIVANNAN

There are many measurements for electricity, depending on what you want to express.

I'll give some samples:
Potential : Volts
Current: Amperes
Resistance: Ohm
Labour (power of an motor): Watts
Charge: Coulomb
Conductivity: Siemens

I think he is looking for information on energy units from his power company bill, not for electricity units.

Use this page here:

KWH is kilowatt hour
The most common energy unit is the joule.

1 kilowatt hour = 3,600,000 joule
1 kilowatt hour = 3,600 kilojoule

There are many others on that page.
